Poured from a big ass 19.2 oz. can. Has a dark golden color with a 1 inch head. Smell is of citrus, mango. Taste is citrus, some pine, light malts, mild bitterness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a pretty good beer and easy drinking for the abv.

Nice safe IPA, lighter golden color with that expected haziness. Small amount of head with some lacing. Smells faintly of floral hops, tastes more of floral and citrus hops, malt, biscuit and a little bitterness. Finishes fairly cleanly with thin mouthfeel, not too much carbonation. Easy to drink and safe but not very exciting.

Pours a little too clear to be an IPA but it smells like a tropical flower. Tastes great but the feel is a little harsh for me. Bought a mixed 12 pack with 3 of these as well as the tangerine, white and Fat Tire amber. I enjoyed it the best of those styles so I bought a sixer today togive it another try . Drinkable but if you want a great IPA, buy Bells two hearted ale or Ballast Point Sculpin.

It has an after taste I have not tasted before in an IPA. It is slight, but there. A taste I have not tasted since the 1970s when I drank fire brewed Strohs. This is a very good beer.

From 12oz bottle. Pours slightly golden with the thin white head. Short retention and some lacing on the glass. Sweet taste, medium body. Nice hoppy smell with hints of tropical fruits. Just a bit of bitterness at the end. For my taste, perfectly balanced IPA.
